Blue Light Programme

Mind developed the Blue Light Programme to provide mental health support for emergency services staff and volunteers from ambulance, fire, police and search and rescue services across England and Wales. Plymouth & District Mind are delighted to be delivering on this programme in 2018-2019.

As part of this programme, we are offering:

1. Face to Face Support

You might have experienced something traumatic in or out of work that’s had a real impact.

If you’re finding things hard, Plymouth & District Mind are here if you need to talk or want to learn practical coping skills.

Free counselling sessions, recovery courses and peer support groups for staff or volunteers from local ambulance, fire, police or search rescue services.

If you would like to book a 1-2-1 appointment with our Blue Light support practitioner – email[email protected]

2. Trauma Awareness Workshops

Want to hear more about how to support a teammate after trauma?

This one-day workshop will enable you to:

Understand what trauma is and how it affects people differently.

Learn how someone might respond straight after a traumatic incident or after some time has passed.
